I understand that not everyone can tolerate g.f. oat flour, and for that I&#39;ve heard of no alternative.<br />You can&#39;t assume such things. Please check with your rabbi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-38936173233863866072011-02-25T21:22:26.396-05:002011-02-25T21:22:26.396-05:00This was delicious!

And for me challah is an egg bread so if I needed to make an egg-free bread, I would probably make a different kind of loaf where the lack of egg wouldn&#39;t be so noticeable. But I totally encourage you to give it a shot - it might turn out delicious, who knows? Just make sure you make up for the moisture of the egg. I wonder if adding some ground flaxseed would help since it helps bread be more pliable and moist. Please do let me know how it turns out, because I&#39;ll make a new post letting folks know what you did - As this is not the first request of this kind that I&#39;ve gotten.ByTheBayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06670549761665347741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-39409308806615070392010-02-16T14:02:24.240-05:002010-02-16T14:02:24.240-05:00Have you tried this by chance with an egg replacem...Have you tried this by chance with an egg replacement? I have been a weekly challah baker for years but now that my son has been diagnosed with multiple food allergies I am looking for alternatives. He isn&#39;t able to do eggs in addition to gluten and dairy.

However I changed the flour and used 1 3/4 cups of a homemade version of Bette Hagman&#39;s GF flour (superfine brown rice flour, potato flour and tapioca flour) and then 3 extra tablespoons of tapioca flour. Also already had xanthan gum, so I used that instead of guar gum. And - I used butter instead of oil since I didn&#39;t care if it was pareve. The idea to put the dough into balls in the pan is brilliant!! Gives it much lighter texture and those beautiful bumps on top! It looked GORGEOUS and was a smash hit! The only problem with it is that I now think that I&#39;ll be making GF challah a lot!Diananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-79075748122288880002008-09-29T15:05:00.000-04:002008-09-29T15:05:00.000-04:00Well I tried this today but had to substitute almo...Well I tried this today but had to substitute almond flour (no rice), xanthan gum (no guar), and my dried milk wasn't dairy free, and I didn't use any honey (dont eat sugar) It was DELISH!

That's how I got it. I haven't tried it with anything else so I can't make any promises but I imagine you could try using powdered soy milk (or buttermilk / nonfat milk if you don't mind it being dairy). I believe someone told me they simply left this ingredient out and it was fine, but since I haven't tried it myself I can't vouch for it.
